Jamie Moyer may have thrown his last pitch as a Phillie. His MRI on Thursday revealed that the left-hander has a UCL and flexor pronator sprain, GM Ruben Amaro Jr. announced. Not good. Moyer, a Souderton High graduate, will officially go on the DL on Saturday. Former Phils pitcher Ricky Bottalico said on Post-Game Live that he thinks Moyer, 47, will be out the rest of the season. Amaro said that Moyer will have further tests to see if surgery will be needed. It's looking more and more like the Phillies aren't making a big trade (at least not now)

Philadelphia Phillies GM Ruben Amaro Jr. hinted that a major trade is in the works Tuesday, according to an ESPN.com report. Among the players under discussion is Houston Astros ace Roy Oswalt, according to the Houston Chronicle . The Phillies will need to find a new starter to replace Kyle Kendrick, the tentative starter for Saturday's game against Colorado. After giving up seven runs in five innings Monday, Kendrick was sent down to the Lehigh Valley IronPigs on Tuesday.

PHILADELPHIA — Charlie Manuel keeps saying his team needs to win series. What he'd surely like to follow that with would be, "Any day now guys." With their 7-5 loss to the Braves on Wednesday at Citizens Bank Park, the Phillies have now lost their last three series and fell six games behind first-place Atlanta, making it the farthest back they've been since being 6 1/2 out on Sept. 13, 2007. With the NL-Central leading Reds coming to town for four games and them having just taken two of three from the Phillies from June 28-30, nothing's getting easier.

PHILADELPHIA — With each passing start, Jamie Moyer seems to eclipse another milestone. All the 47-year-old left-hander wants to concentrate on, though, is helping Philadelphia win. And, lately, he's been succeeding. Moyer gave up his record-breaking 506th home run but was sharp otherwise, and the Phillies took advantage of Toronto's troubles to beat the Blue Jays 11-2 Sunday. Moyer's only mistake was a two-run homer by Vernon Wells in the third inning. Moyer passed former Phillies Hall of Famer Robin Roberts for the most homers allowed in a career.

PHILADELPHIA — Jamie Moyer is very particular about the way reporters ask him questions. He's even more particular about the way he pitches. For the fourth time this season and third time in his last four starts, Moyer went eight innings and left with a one-run lead that the bullpen preserved for a 2-1 victory on Tuesday night at Citizens Bank Park against the Indians. "That just goes to show you at his age, to be able to go deep into the game, that's fantastic," manager Charlie Manuel said of the 47-year-old.

Daniel Nava hit the first pitch he faced in the big leagues for a grand slam -- only the second payer to do it -- leading the Boston Red Sox to their second straight rout of the Philadelphia Phillies, 10-2 Saturday. Nava connected on a fastball from Joe Blanton in the second inning and shortly after being called up from Triple-A Pawtucket. Kevin Kouzmanoff connected on the first pitch he saw Sept. 2, 2006, for Cleveland against Texas, according to STATS LLC. Only four players in big league history have hit grand slams in their first at-bat.

BOSTON (AP) — David Ortiz drove in four runs, Boston led 12-0 after three innings and the Red Sox beat the Philadelphia Phillies 12-2 on Friday night in the worst start of Jamie Moyer's 24 seasons. The 47-year-old left-hander allowed nine runs on nine hits, including six doubles and Mike Lowell's two-run homer, and left after failing to retire any of the first four batters in the second inning. Boston added three runs in the third off David Herndon. John Lackey (7-3)

-- Armed with a notebook and a boatload of paperwork, Jamie Moyer pulled up a chair in the clubhouse Saturday next to catcher Carlos Ruiz to dissect the scouting report. As he leaned forward to analyze the details with Ruiz, Moyer put on something that no other player in that clubhouse needs: reading glasses. The spectacles made him look more like a pitching coach than a player. But a couple hours later when Moyer, 47, stepped on the mound at Citizens Bank Park, he no longer looked the part of an older statesman.

With the Phillies' 6-2 win over the Padres on Saturday night at Citizens Bank Park, Jamie Moyer became just the third pitcher in baseball history to win 100 games since turning 40. Moyer, a Souderton High graduate, got the complete-game victory, his second this season. He struck out one, allowed seven hits and walked only one. He needed just 98 pitches in the 2-hour and 2-minute game. With the victory, the left-hander became just the third pitcher in baseball history to win 100 games over the age of 40. Only Jack Quinn (103)

The sign was there for all to see ... Players meeting at 4:45. It had to be about their lack of offense, right? How could it not be? But manager Charlie Manuel, seemingly wanting to keep the meeting topic a secret, ensured the media that it wasn't a players-only meeting about their slump (he wouldn't say what it was though). Maybe it should have been. In their last four games, the Phillies are hitting .192 (25-for-130) and have scored only three runs.
